Abstract Methylrhenium trioxide (MTO) was found to be a good catalyst for the oxidation of tertiary phosphines by molecular oxygen at room temperature. Evidence is given that an intermediate Re(V) compound — CH3ReO2, or the adduct CH3ReO2·OPPh3 — is involved. The deoxygenation of epoxides, sulfoxides, N-oxides, triphenylarsine oxide and triphenylstibine oxide at room temperature was also catalyzed by MTO, with triphenylphosphine as the oxygen acceptor. A plausible reaction mechanism involves phosphine attack at a compound formed between MTO and the epoxide or other oxygen-donor compound.

Methylrhenium trioxide (MTO), supported on niobia, acts as an effective heterogeneous catalyst for certain chemical reactions. These include reactions of ethyl diazoacetate, which are equivalent to carbene-transfer processes, and selective oxidations that utilize hydrogen peroxide. Both groups of reactions, which are known to occur homogeneously, proceed efficiently and in good yield on the supported catalyst.
